Lets use trout as an example.
If you were out some where fishing that fit the statewide creel limits you can keep 7 trout. That is all you can keep for that day. IF you were camping afield or staying afield multiple days then you can not have more than the daily creel limit in possession. IF you are not afield then you can have twice the number of the daily creel which would be 14 in the example.
Plus you can clean and give someone fish all you want but if its out on the water when your doing so then you'd better make sure those fillets can be identified (species/length) if a game warden walks up.
To fit your giving someone a limit example Alpha you're right based on how I read the regs they can't have more than a daily creel if they are sitting there on the riverbank.
After re-reading, I think we ultimately said the same thing...
